And the winners are…

Thank you all for joining in the fun. I loved reading your guesses and attempts at influencing the iron-clad-serious jury of me. You know who you are. Loved it.

Finding out the exact figures took some time (yes, I had no clue what the numbers were either), but I am done and ready to announce the people with the proper psychic powers.

First, the maths and break down of the photographic damage I have unleashed in the world:

__________________________________

February (28th only, Day1) – 172

March – 4,749

April – 5,218

May – 5,331

June (til 7th, Day 100) – 1,396

_____

Total: 16,866 snapolas!

Wow, that is 168 shots per day. No wonder my right hand has been hurting lately.

One of those snaps to keep the suspense going…

The home of the scarf at the Sunday night market in Chiang Mai, Thailand

The Results:

(Reminder: The winner gets to chose the item they would like me to send them. The second then gets the option to receive the other item and if they dont want it it will go down the line until it finds a loving home)

1. Kambanka 17,000 (+134)

2. Vanya 17,777 (+911)

___

3. Rachel 18,050 (+1,184)

4. Sandra 14,982 (-1,884)

5. Bec 19,332 (+2,466)

Congratulations!

Now we are awaiting to see what Queen Psychic Kambanka desires (scarf?).
Vanya, a bag for you? Pass?

More math for ya: By my count those 16,866 snapolas in 100 days average out to…

1 snapola every six minutes
(continuously, every blessed hour – est. 16 hrs. awake – each and every day)!!!

Furthermore, presuming you took your finger off the shutter long enough to occasionally stuff food in your mouth and err, visit the loo…

Chances are you snapped a pic even more often than that!

Question: Surely you edit/cull pics in your camera as you skip along, yes? I mean, are these 16k pics only those halfway decent keepers (e.g. personally I dump at least 1/2 at the end of most every day’s shoot)?

If so, then you actually took TWICE that many snapolos, and I dare say you uh, have a most serious shutter-snap addiction, indeed! ;)

Snapping Blabber

Hahaha…haaa, thank you for the morning laugh, Dyanne. Now I am seriously worried about myself.

No, I dont cull a lot. A few shots here and there, that were over/underexposed. Just because I dont like a picture today, doesnt mean I wont in, say, 20 years. Storage is cheap. I have learned that taste changes, so try to cater for it. Which means, that my problem is not as bad as you tried to imply in your last paragraph. Shudder.
(Ouch, my hand hurts typing ;) )
